The ABB 2TLA050076R6100 is a SENSE 8 safety switch with a 10-meter cable and 2NC/1NO contact configuration. It is a current-lifecycle part, meaning ABB continues to manufacture and support it as a standard catalog item.
The 2NC/1NO contact arrangement is the standard fail-safe pair for a safety switch: the two normally-closed contacts provide the redundant signal path required for Category 3/PL d safety circuits per EN ISO 13849, while the normally-open auxiliary gives a status feedback to the PLC or indicator lamp. The 10-meter cable length covers most machine-perimeter runs without a junction box — useful on a conveyor guard or press door where the switch sits 8–9 meters from the safety relay.
Deployment context
This SENSE 8 switch mounts directly to the machine frame or guard door via the standard 22 mm actuator slot. The 10 m cable routes through cable glands or drag chain; no separate junction box needed for runs under 10 m. IP67-rated body handles washdown environments on food-and-bev lines.
